Interesting but this looks sexier http://66.media.tumblr.com/c06f80b0d0cdfed6a49822d66c69b33b/tumblr_o82aajkQB01vpd7ojo1_1280.jpg
Hmm so it's a poorly finished and 3D printed Alpa knock-off with a s***ty looking helical mount. Better off importing a beat up Graflox backed Speed Graphic from the USA and stripping it down.
ain't that the truth!I understand that not everyone is stupid enough to build their own camera(!)
I don't think you'd get very odds on that bet. I've invested in 5 Kickstarter projects and none have been delivered on the predicted date although 2 have finally come to completion, the Intrepid arrived a year after its original supply date and the Ondu about 6 months late. TBH whenever I invest in a project I take the whole thing as a bit of a leap of faith, exciting when they finally come to fruition though.
Yes exactly Brian, Ferrania film was one of them and their original proposed supply date passed 18 months ago but according to their latest update delivery is imminent. Of course I'll take that with the aforementioned pinch of salt but I am convinced they'll get there eventually.H'mm wasn't Ferrania film one of them? Doesn't seem to be on sale ATM

That's a great idea, I suppose the problem is accessing the plant required to produce film. It's one of the problems that the Ferannia folk have had is getting the machinery up and running and they had access to a lot of the original kit. I'm still hopeful that one day somebody will do a Kodachrome Kickstarter.Maybe in the future some group might ask permission from Kodak or Fuji to kickstart production of some of their films we miss
Generally with large scale chemical production, you'd have one production system for each product. But when specialist equipment is used, then they would likely run one batch at a time with heavy duty cleaning between batches.

I feel like i'm the only film user who doesn't think Kodachrome was that great, not shot any personally as i was too late to film to have that chance, but i've scanned a load of it and projected some and thought it was OK, most likely better than the other colour films back in the day but wasn't blown away by it or anything. Maybe i've just been spoiled by modern emulsions.
I understood that there were some aspects of the Kodachrome process that might not get approval these days for elf and safety reasons?
